Minamoto no Kurō snapped back to his senses and raised the golden blade in his hand to block.
The tides of offense and defense reversed.
Clang!
In a flash of lightning and sparks, arcs and embers scattered.
Though he barely managed to block it, Kamiyagawa's [Cloud Shine] hit so hard that Minamoto no Kurō's arms trembled violently, and his already-bent waist couldn't straighten up no matter what.
"You hesitated just now, didn't you?" Kamiya maintained his pressure, his eyes blazing like torches, his gaze burning. "Hesitation leads to defeat!"
As the words fell, a giant, dazzling emerald Thunder Spear, wielded by Ibuki's Hand, came howling toward him!
Already at the end of his rope, Minamoto no Kurō was still reeling from the aftershock of Cloud Shine—he couldn't break free, and had no strength to unleash Eight Boats Leap again.
With the massive Thunder Spear sweeping across, he simply had no way to dodge.
